Hi everyone,
I stopped the pill in April and have had very irregular cycles, where ovulation has been late and I get my period only a week after. So far I have had two periods. My GP won't do any investigations yet, as he thinks it's normal that this happens after stopping the pill.
I have told him I am worried there is a hormonal problem, not just because of the irregular cycles, but I also have acne and hair loss. He told me that normally they wait until you have tried for a year before doing any investigations, but he would see me after Christmas. But I was thinking, how long should you give it after stopping the pill until you know there's something wrong? If there are multiple signs of possible PCOS, shouldn't they look into it sooner? The thing is, I don't remember what my cycles were like before the pill.
